    All snakes are different and what work for some do not work for all, generally speaking the majority of people feed in the enclosure so they are likely used to that as well

    Keep in mind that feeding outside the enclosure can cause enough stress to lead to refusal so it is likely only adding up to other possible issues, it's also a good way to get tagged.
    Will wait a few days to try with a live small rat.

    The cool spot in is front of the bin and it 80-82F and the snake room is 78-82F, depending if its day or night.

    They seam interested in the prey, they were smelling it jerking there head like they were going to strike but after 20 secs give or take they would look away and leave. I trying switching to a smaller rat and it was the same thing. I even tried putting the prey on the bottom of the bin and moved it around and they fallowed the prey and just lost interest in them after a while.

    how often have you tried to feed. try leaving your snake alone for a week or so then try to feed again. ive only had feeding problems twice i left them alone for a week and then feed them in the dark and they ate. i would say just try live maybe it will eat
